Bike porn

Which thread am I in?

^ you would have thought it was the pron thread :S

so I thought whats the moaning all about. here are some quotes from the first page of 1200something... WAAhh turns out my post on previous page is a repost, right on track I say

I absolutely adore these old raleighs:

Maybe time for a small recap. What has been the best porn in the last 1200+ pages??

Is that smallfurries' fabled fatbike? ;-)

No. But I have posted it before. Possibly in my current projects thread.

I'm pretty sure that is verion 3. The owner builds them in his shed, using a massive amount of trial and error. I've followed all his build threads with great interest. The guy is a bit of an inspiration TBH. He's the 'weeble' of the bike tinkering world. All sorts of stuff goes wrong. Yet he simply bounces back and finds a different way of approaching the problem.

You'd have to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic to call that beautiful. In fact its an ugly brute. But I'd pick it over anything in the last 10 pages of this thread.

This 6.04kg Steel bike;

The saddle on that Bianchi looks like a transformers head or something weird like that,

Iscaselle Giro d'Italia.
Beautiful 1990s saddle.
Very uncomfy though.
NOS between GBP 25 and 100+

Get your eyes checked then read the rules and look at your bike again

^ my friend has one just like that but with SRAM Red, and Cosmic Carbone SLR's (with one spoke in that pink) ... We look light a right pair of tarts when we ride together

This 6.04kg Steel bike;

I didn't know edge made steel rims.

I didn't know Zipp made steel cranks.

I didn't know Ciamillo made steel brakes.

I didn't know SRAM made steel shifters.

etc.

Haha what do you know ;)

The moser paint job is factory - mid 90s i believe with all the patina of use on it - nothing has been retouched.

Where I took the photo the wall BEHIND me was painted red. As such the brightworks (Shamals 12HPWs and a restored Chorus gruppo mainly) on the bike reflected it.

And the pretentious twat with the Hockey reference - you obviously never heard of Howard Arkley.

Any one with a copy of the RULES please post it up

Here's one that is hopefully less offensive -

Kind of like the paint of that moser. Could do with other saddle, tyres and tape though.
